Possible mais wheeler-dealer, c'est un magouilleur en général, wheeler-dealing semble plutôt des opérations malhonnêtes...

brasser des affaires
D'après GDT => Wheeler-dealer => brasseur d'affaires, qui n'a pas nécessairement un sens péjoratif.
Je traduirais donc par qqch comme => «Il est plus facile de brasser des affaires, car étant donné le nombre restreint d'employés...»
